Chapter 48 Finalization

The finale banquet was still held in a five-star hotel, with less than 50 people in total and five tables.

This night was a carnival night for them, and everyone was tired and aggrieved. Since the start of filming, in order to catch up with the schedule, they have worked overtime, shooting for more than 12 hours a day, but everyone has worked hard because they are holding their breath in their hearts.

They know that whether it is from the camp of the production team or the production cost, they are far from being the opponent of "Youth Without Regrets". The production cost of "Youth Without Regrets" is as high as 60 million, and the publicity and distribution cost in the later stage will not be less than 20 million, and the overall production cost of 80 million is 40 times that of theirs, and the volume gap is too big.

So for them, as long as "Those Years" can be released smoothly, then even if it is half the success, if the box office can exceed one-fortieth of "Youth Without Regrets", it will be a huge success.

There is no way, people who are poor must be short-minded.

As for the movie hit, surpassing "Youth Without Regrets"?

I don't dare to think about it.

In this oppressive situation, the finale began.

"Next, let us welcome our director, screenwriter and starring with warm applause, Mr. Wang Xiaobai will say two words for you!"

Halfway through the banquet, Murong Yanliang acted as the host and said to everyone.

Wang Xiaobai walked up to the stage, worded it a little, and said: "First of all, I want to thank everyone for their hard work and perseverance in the past 20 days. I'm grateful. I also know that there are a lot of people out there waiting to see our jokes, and I know that most of you don't know the bottom of your hearts, and you're scared! But I tell you, since we've done it, don't be afraid. I'm afraid, you're going to lose for the rest of your life! It's not released yet, so it's not certain who will die and who will live!

Although everyone didn't believe what Wang Xiaobai said, as soon as the wine came up, a group of people also shouted.

Murong Yanliang, a thirty-year-old man, shouted even louder: "I wish "Those Years" a box office hit!"

"I wish "Those Years" a box office hit!"

“……”

A group of people were screaming, and the scene was still very lively.

Wang Xiaobai said with a smile: "I wish the box office a big hit, today is a day for everyone to relax, eat and drink well, and don't get drunk and don't return!"

"Okay, the director is generous!"

"Long live the director!"

A group of people shouted, staggered, and very lively.

After getting off the stage, Wang Xiaobai walked to Murong Bing's side, lowered his voice and said, "Let the waiter quietly withdraw the wine, drink so much wine, isn't it good to eat more food?"

Murong Bing's eyes lit up, he didn't expect him to be so careful, I was afraid that everyone would drink too much wine and hurt his body and make a mistake. She nodded slightly, and was about to explain to the waiter, when she heard him muttering again: "How expensive is the wine, more expensive than the cost of the food......

“……”

I'm sorry I misunderstood you, I damn it!

Murong Bing looked at him speechlessly, too lazy to pay attention to him, and he chattered: "I'll sign when I settle the bill later......"

What if you don't sign it?

Don't buy it?

Murong Bing really wants to smoke this goods to death, there are millions of people in this product, how can he still care about the money spent on a banquet.

Too lazy to talk to Wang Xiaobai, she said, "What you just said is true?"

"After all the filming is over, do I still need to give people chicken blood to stimulate their enthusiasm?" Wang Xiaobai asked rhetorically.

Wang Xiaobai rarely told the truth, after all, the total box office of the original time and space "Those Years" on both sides of the strait and three places combined exceeded 180 million yuan, even if you change time and space, you can't hit the street again, right?

I don't know why, the confident Wang Xiaobai is particularly charming.

It's not handsome, it's just a charming confidence.

Murong Bing stared at his face, a smile bloomed on his face, and said, "Then how much do you think the box office should be?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Be conservative, 200 million." ”

“…… Be serious. "Murong Bing was scared, you invested 2 million, and you didn't even do the publicity, you just wanted to get 200 million, a hundred times the return, what about you selling X and selling X at that time?

"Am I joking?" Wang Xiaobai was innocent.

"......" Murong Bing could say anything: "It's good if you have confidence." ”

What's wrong with the world, to be honest, no one believes it?

Wang Xiaobai didn't bother to explain, believe it or not, that's it anyway.

At the end of the banquet, it cost more than 70,000 yuan in total, and the five tables of food cost less than 30,000 yuan, and the group of animals actually drank more than 40,000 yuan...... Lost old ladies, didn't they all tell you to withdraw the wine?

Alas, although the flesh hurts, Wang Xiaobai still pinched his nose and admitted it.

You can't drink anymore, it costs a lot to drink.

……

Time flies by in the midst of intense editing and post-production.

On August 2, 2019, Wang Xiaobai forwarded the announcement of the crew of "Those Years", announcing that "Those Years" would be released on August 6, and then, "Youth Without Regrets" also announced the date, and like "Those Years", it was chosen to be released on August 6. Everyone knows that Director Wang is here to bully people.

As soon as this tweet was posted, Wang Xiaobai's tweet exploded, and a group of people came to leave a message.

"Congratulations, I wish you a speedy ride. ”

"I finally have a chance to see the bad work, and I don't know how much box office it will have, can it exceed two million?"

"I hope to see the scene of Wang Xiaobai being slapped in the face by Director Wang!"

"Xiaobai, promise us, after tossing this, you will obediently come back to be your Asian dance king, okay?"

……

In the face of many comments on the Internet, Wang Xiaobai and the "Those Years" program team chose to remain silent, ignore it, and make the final sprint with peace of mind.

Night, August 5th.

Wang Xiaobai squatted outside the editing room and didn't say a word. Murong Bing was next to him, and he was also very silent, Murong Yanliang smoked vigorously, one after another, and there were a bunch of cigarette butts on the ground.

After a while, Murong Bing said, "Do you want to announce it?"

"Is there really nothing to do?" Murong Yanliang pulled his hair, he had been busy with post-production for the past few days, his beard was unkempt, he hadn't washed his bath, and there was a smell on his body.

Wang Xiaobai shook his head silently.

"So what to do, if it is announced at this time, we will all be ruined. Murong Yanliang said angrily.

"That can't be helped. Wang Xiaobai stood up, moved his legs a little sore, and said, "I'll announce it, anyway, I'm used to being scolded." ”

With that, he was gone, and the light stretched his shadow and shortened and lengthened it again, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

The crowd watched his back and tried to catch up, but finally stopped.

"Rest well. Murong Bing dropped a sentence and left.

"Grass!" Murong Yanliang slammed the cigarette butt on the ground and scolded.

……

Two hours later, at nearly twelve o'clock, Zhou Xiaoshuai appeared in a theater, walked to the counter, and asked the ticket seller: "Give me a movie ticket for "Those Years"." ”

He is a movie critic, and the reason why he watched "Those Years" is definitely not because he likes Wang Xiaobai, but because he wants to spit while Wang Xiaobai is not yet cool, after all, Wang Xiaobai was also a decent person before he died.

At first, he only thought that it was because the theater chain did not give "Those Years" a good location, so he drove for more than an hour to buy tickets for a relatively remote movie in the suburbs.

"What was 'Those Years'? The waiter asked with a confused expression.

"Huh?"

Zhou Xiaoshuai was dumbfounded, what is the situation, so many movie theaters don't have "Those Years", definitely not just because the theater chain is unwilling to give Wang Xiaobai the canvas in a good location, there must be something that he doesn't know.

He wanted to go to Tuibo to see the announcement of the crew of "Those Years", and the news of the release on August 6 was still at the top, without any dynamic changes. He went to Wang Xiaobai's push to take a look again, and was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.

Wang Xiaobai, you bastard!
